End of Season Review
With the curtain coming down on the 2014/2015 season, we can look back on a campaign where we broke club records by finishing 3rd in the league and qualified for the Champions League. Whilst we were dissapointing in domestic cups, we also managed to reach the Quarter-Finals...
U21 Championships - Out in the Semi-Finals
So our tournament ended in dissapointment as we crashed out in the semi-finals against Germany, who had also beaten us in a friendly. We can take some positives from the tournament but in the end I do feel it was an opportunity missed. Germany went on...

Group Stage
France
Holland
Belarus
Czech Republic
The team travelled to Czech Republic in high spirits after a great qualifying campaign and some encouraging friendlies. To qualify from our group we would have to beat Holland, who brought a much stronger side...
April - End of Season
We almost bottled it at the end. Just 1 win in our last six matches surely should have meant we missed out on our spot in the Champions League but Bordeaux's stutter at the last too means we qualified with 3 points to spare on our more illustrious opponents. So, we did it...
March - April
Sadly there will be no trophy lifting at the Stade de la Route de Lorient this summer after we crashed out of the Europa League against Manchester City, to few people's surprise. That said we gave it a good go and it was the furthest the club have been in the competition so we...

January - February
2015 could be a big year. The U21 European Championships in the summer.. Our form at the end of last year leaves us with lots to be excited about and we have to keep up our momentum if we want to achieve what no-one expects of us and sneak into the Champions League spots...
November - Winter Break
Wow, we have picked up some real momentum in the last month or so! Much to my delight, some of our young players are really starting to shine and we are now looking like a real team. Two players I have to mention for their performances in the first half of the season are...
October - November
A short month or so of football ends with two international friendlies in preperation for next summer's U-21 Euro Championships in the Czech Republic. We continue our way forward in the league and the Europa League with Rennes and a couple of our players are now stating their...
September - October
Our first games in the Europa League this month and also that decisive play-off against Scotland U-21s. On top of that we had to keep our form going in the league and not let our participation in Europe lead to a drop in form. To do that, we needed to use our full squad...
